Update #1 - Final Update-The
USMCC calculated and sent time calibration data (TCAL) to a
single US LUT at 15/1811Z. Good location data was confirmed after
the US LUT tracked S13 and then TCALs were sent to all remaining
US LUTs at15/1931.The FMCC provided time calibration
data at 15/2218Z and it was validated at the USMCC and
distributed. The final US LUT tracked S13 at 16/0248Z and good
